Number fields

[kdoupe]

I'm learning FM 4.1 on the fly while doing some volunteer work. I have a few fields that are not behaving as I wish. Two number fields, one for annual income, and one for number of dependents, zero out in the first record retrieved whenever I open up my form in browse mode. I'm just testing data so I haven't lost anything of importance. But in my sample of 12 documents my number of entries in those fields gradually get erased as an afternoon goes on.

I've looked through the various forums on this site and the tech pages as well but haven't found a similar topic. I feel as if I'm missing a trick or something. I'm familiar with MS Access but FileMaker is new to me. Thanks for any assistance
